Week 6 part 1


1.My Online persona  
 I believe people have many personas they want to be seen in different ways by different people. That’s why I find human interaction interesting  
I feel Like you can never actually make an online character look exactly like you because we don't have the advanced technology, don’t get me wrong it can look similar to you. Also people are always criticizing the way they look and if they didn’t like something about themselves looks wise, they probably wouldn’t put it on a character, same with personality traits if you have been criticized for being to outgoing your not going to want to make your character outgoing. 
When people meet new people its always an opportunity to reinvent yourself and leave the impression you want to leave, however in most cases I think this fails because you can’t pretend to be someone your not ,not fully anyway . 
People can present themselves however they want on social media as they have control on what people see. My online persona isn't really that different I don’t think to my real self I'm quite a joker and I think that sometimes comes through on my social media but its hard to show your personality on paper which is basically what u do on social media, when you present your self in person its only to a certain amount of people at a time where as when your on social media everyone can see how you present yourself because you cant control the people that will see your posts.  
Also I Don’t think I could include everything in an online persona about myself because interacting with people online is a completely different experience to in person as online u lack physical contact and emotion . Posts on Instagram or Facebook won't tell your life story and who u are as a person unless you document it all but even then I don’t think people would like to have that high level of information/life story online for everyone to see.

Week 3

The Team project  I'm in the Red team with CrimsonChocobo  and  ChenmingZhang Unfortunately we didn't meet that weekend in second life due to how busy we were and the fact we didn't have any other type of contact apart from second life it was hard to get a hold of them because obviously i'm not and there not gonna be active all the time on second life,I kinda didn't know who they were and i left the class in second life as soon as it was over as i had to do something after, so i kinda failed to communicate with them after the class and it was hard to find them because i didn't know if there username on second life was there real name or not, so it was hard to find them on social media especially because i didn't know what they looked like or there real name.I Managed to private message Crimson m y phone number on second life and i knew she'd eventually get it and before the next class we were able to set up a group on whats app. I think are meeting d...

week 8 part 2

We ’ ve been having  a bit of a discussion on if we actually want to do fast fashion  because we thought that maybe another group would have done it  and we   kinda  didn't want to have the exact same  project  a s another group    so yeah I kind of thought that  another group    would do fast fashion  and at this point  there were  no slides on the Google slides document  and we could have really changed topic if we wanted to  topic  but   I'm glad we didn't   i  did however ask two of the groups what they were doing just to make sure it  wasn’t  fast fashion so  then we then proceeded  to go ahead with the presentation  and   chenming  was the first person to have the  slides   done   , I made a little brainstorm on what I wanted to include in my slides I also watched a few  documentaries  which really helped me unde...

Week 5

Unfortunately i Missed this weeks class as i was in England and couldn't bring my laptop and i also didn't have access to one while i was over there, So i will be discussing the impact and approach Marshall Mc Luhan's lecture gave to me and the meaning be hide what i think he means.  I think Mc Luhan  is a man that has experienced a lot of things and a lot of people its almost like he's studied people and knows how to read society,In the first part of he's lecture he started saying how much TV and radio have an effect on are life he stated "a TV person has no objective at all and that TV is subjected and literature is objected" .He also thinks peoples opinions can be confusing and misleading "Value Judgement is very personal that it confuses people" what i think he means by this is that when people give there personal opinion on news or reports there often forget there opinion isn't always wanted or relevant. Mc Luhan also goes on to say ...
